the world's worst homesteader is in this postcard with an image of broccoli and cauliflower

Yup. That’d be me. I found myself deep in thought last week as I was walked back to the house from doing barn chores. I had just assessed our garden, barn, and chicken coop, and was struck with a rather profound thought, which went something along the lines of, “I really suck at this.” Ya’ll. If there […]

an old - fashioned on purpose book cover shows a man holding a stick in front of cows

I was a bored, pregnant newlywed 40 miles from civilization with not enough money to drive to activities in town. That’s how it all started. Not the most epic beginning to this story, I know… Basically, the garden and kitchen projects gave me a way to pass the time without feeling like a total loser. […]

the garden soil is full of dirt and plants, with text overlay that reads 7 simple ways to improve garden soil

Barren… That was the first word that crossed my mind when I set out to work on my new kitchen garden this year. It’s right under my laundry room window, and is the perfect spot, considering it gets plenty of southern sunlight and is right next to our new porch. However, the soil leaves a […]

a collage of homeschool on the hometead and how to do it

“Eh… So… Are you still homeschooling?” I hear that question a lot. And I get it. I mean, doing school every single morning. With three kids (one being a wild toddler). While running a blog and our doTERRA business. And writing a real, published cookbook. And keeping up with a homestead, etc, etc, etc. It sounds […]

Homesteading with Small Children (5 Tips from a Not-So-Perfect Mama)

“How on earth do you homestead with small children?” I get that question a LOT. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about how to answer it for a while now… I haven’t addressed it yet, because, well, I haven’t been exactly sure what to say. You see, I don’t really have a formula or schedule or routine […]

someone is sprinkling seeds from their plant in the garden with text overlay that reads, your garden's best kept

I don’t know why homesteading makes me so impulsive… Whether we’re talking about my propensity to impulse-buy farm animals, or my tendency to fire up a canning project in the middle of a busy morning when I have no business standing there peeling peaches, I guess I just have to blame it on my […]

an old farm tractor with chickens on the back and text that reads, you can't do it all 5 tips for staying

I had a rather stunning revelation the other day. I realized that I can’t do it all. For real. And to be honest, I don’t really like saying that out loud…. But it’s true. It was during a moment of stressful frustration the other day that a lightbulb came on. I mean, yeah, we all […]

an egg carton filled with eggs sitting on top of a wooden table next to money

“Eh… So where does your money come from?” Hands down, this is the question I get the most often… And if people aren’t asking it, I can tell they are thinking it. 😉 First off, let’s clarify a few things: Like I mentioned in my homestead myth-busting post, becoming a modern homesteader doesn’t necessarily mean […]

a brochure with the words how many plants do you have to grow?

I’m about to say something very controversial. Sacrilegious, even. Well, at least in homestead circles. Like always, a part of me is stoked for spring. STOKED, I tell you. The seedlings are growing in the basement, and I walk through the dormant garden about once every 3 days dreaming and planning. But a part of […]

the top 5 places to buy heir seeds for your garden or plant care business, and where you can find them

“Anyone who thinks gardening begins in the spring and ends in the fall is missing the best part of the whole year; for gardening begins in January with the dream.” –Josephine Nuese As I type this, we are in the midst of a good old-fashioned Wyoming ground blizzard, complete with road closures, snow sand-blasting your […]
